Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

If we did away with grades, we’d also eliminate the massive markets for proctoring, learning management systems, plagiarism detection, and more. The insidious culture of grades is propping up a multibillion dollar surveillance edtech market. Ungrading means working to dismantle that entire system.

Grading is not an evidence based practice and is also cop shit. Which makes sense given that policing is also not an evidence-based practice.
